Kinda surprised by this take, because IMO the biggest strength of the new anime I've been watching is that the pacing is much, much better. I'm often blown away by how much is packed into each episode of something like DanDaDan, Gachiakuta, or Sakamoto Days. Even something that I'd consider a little slow, like parts of Solo Leveling or Kaiju Number Eight, still blow older anime like Naruto or One Piece out of the water.
Did you really need to compare it to animes with the slowest pace possible?
Those were super popular though. If you were to talk with people about anime 15 years ago that's pretty much all people knew.
I probably was in a wildly different circles. Most people I knew didn't want to start em due to size and pace. Single digits watched both.
